Event Overview:
Adopting AI is easy. Embedding it into your business – in a way that delivers real, lasting value – is not.
Join us at The Bank of New York HQ in Manchester for an honest and practical panel discussion on the tough reality of AI commercialisation. We're bringing together experts who’ve been doing the deep work of making AI a habit, not just a headline.
Expect real stories, useful insight, and lively debate on how businesses are moving past pilots and into production – and what that really takes.

Panel Theme:
“Hype to Habit: Doing the Deep Work of AI Commercialisation”
How do we take AI from shiny demos and PoCs to real-world systems that generate value day in, day out?
We’ll explore:
- What works (and what doesn’t) when embedding AI into operations
- Organisational challenges and change management
- Scaling AI from proof of concept to business-as-usual
- How to avoid the trap of "AI theatre"
